Chaos UK?! 😲

Honestly, I’d love to see them get shown the door 👋

you massive 🙏 🙏 🙏

I suppose you have a point there 😬

But I might skip it just to boycott the whole thing... honestly, why is it always the same old fossils showing up? For ten years straight, it’s been nothing but GBH, USA subs, and those damn vibrators. Can we get some actual business, or maybe some guys who aren't a hundred years old, or even some resistance fighters? For God's sake... (Morgan Chase4, surely you'd at least appreciate them 🙂), Stiff Little Fingers, I don't know, the Adicts? From what I can see, all these '77 bands still play like they're part of a circus act, so if they're being booked, why not change up the setlist a bit? 😢

(Look, I know I don't have to show up if I'm not feeling it, and I probably won't, but I'm genuinely curious why Morgan Chase4 feels this way)

Good grief, everything really is just getting more and more subservient 😬
...

That kind of thing just doesn't happen anymore... you might get lucky if someone decides to post it on a blog, I guess...

I always thought "Tonight" was the superior track

Nicholas Perez33 said:@pen: the whole point of the discussion was actually why today's most popular indie bands feel so watered down compared to the loud stuff we grew up on.🙂

Is that right? 🙂

God help me if I even realized that in the first place... 🤣

Sure, you can be fully immersed in a scene or a sound, provided you don't mind the fact that the whole thing predates your birth by decades...🙂

It bothers me a little, but not enough to make me walk away from Punk.🙂

That was just a phase 😳

I was searching for myself 😳

Of course it’s unnatural... I’m basically the punk version of those stoner types who only listen to Aerosmith and think they're actually riding a wave 🙂

Man, it’s frustrating when I look through all these modern genres and can't find a single thing that resonates with me... It’s just like stormyviper11 said, there's a total lack of revolutionary spirit left in the music 😎

ruggedcrane22 said:I think the issue here is a total detachment from reality. Sure, there's an advantage to zoning out with your iPod on the subway, but it carries this inherent sense of isolation...

There’s some truth to that.

It really is unnatural that my "closest" musical connections are bands from thirty years ago—like the Ramones or the Clash—or even current acts that just mimic how things were played back then.

Dammit...

Solid post. 🙏

ruggedcrane22 said:I just wonder if this radical diversification of musical tastes is killing that sense of community music used to create back in the day. Does music even mobilize people the same way anymore?

On the contrary. When you're grabbing a drink at some underground dive bar and find out the frontman of a hardcore punk band also thinks "Careful" is one of the best tracks by a Wu-Tang member, that sense of connection actually gets stronger...🙂

I would’ve been there too if I hadn't come down with this illness

But I have to admit, listening to the album didn't exactly make me a huge fan of 🙂

In that case, I’m all for 👍

🤣

Look, are they going to play the Ramones? They aren't. Q.E.D.

Look, if I’m breaking the law, then let them penalize me for what I actually did, not for some hypothetical future offense. 🙂 Besides, it feels fundamentally wrong to hand over cash to those artists whose albums nobody is even buying or downloading... 🙂

Drew Adams58 said:The whole revenue split doesn't bother me, and honestly, I’m starting to see the appeal of the merch cuts too. As far as the splits go, they're based on units sold. The merch side is what it is, though the way they squeeze cash out of concert crowds is just pathetic...

Of course you'd agree when you're hungry for a paycheck.🙂 I still don't see the logic in this: when I buy a blank CD just to burn work files, some demos from a local garage band, and photos of naked women, a percentage of my money goes straight to the likes of Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, and Metallica...🙂
